I don’t want to sound pessimistic (and I’m not a lawyer), but IIRC DragonFlyBSD is still from the software patents “infected” U.S. and I highly doubt Matt had the resources nor the time to do a thorough patent-research before he started coding hammer, just because you write your code from scratch doesn’t mean you’re not violating any (software) patents IIRC

I’m going to have to agree with RayOfHope on this one. Also it seems that the patent at the core of NetApp’s infringement claims (patent No. 6,892,211) was shot down WRT ZFS. [Yeah, yeah, Citation Needed]
